(Rural Travel·Looking at Revitalization) Guangdong Hanya Village: “Green Electricity Revitalizes the Village” outpaces the “acceleration” of rural revitalization

In recent years, Hanya Village, Dalu Road Road Town, Lianzhou City, Qingyuan City, based on its resource endowment and location conditions, adheres to local conditions, multi-point layout, and step-by-step advancement, coordinates the development tracks of new energy, small and micro industries, specialty breeding, mineral resources, etc., and simultaneously fills in infrastructure shortcomings, builds a diversified industrial system of "new energy empowerment, integration of industry and agriculture, resource-based efficiency improvement, and infrastructure-based quality improvement" to achieve a leap from an economically weak village to a demonstration village for steady income growth.

In terms of new energy utilization, Hanya Village relies on idle mountainous land, open space and rooftop resources to scientifically lay out photovoltaic power generation facilities and explore a model of "village-built photovoltaics, on-site consumption, and win-win situation between villages and enterprises". Small and micro-processing enterprises are introduced into the village and put into production, which consumes green electricity nearby and reduces the cost of electricity consumption of enterprises. At the same time, it brings rental income to the village collective through land transfer, site leasing and other methods, and drives many villagers to find jobs nearby, forming a virtuous cycle of two-way empowerment of green energy and rural industry.

In terms of infrastructure, Hanya Village adheres to the principle of "infrastructure first, road industry integration", promotes the "single to double" upgrade of main roads, effectively opens up agricultural product exports, corporate raw material transportation and mass travel congestion points, and improves road traffic carrying capacity and safety.

In terms of specialty agriculture, the village relies on the resource advantages of the mountainous areas in northern Guangdong to promote large-scale, standardized and high-quality development, forming a diversified pattern of "fruit + cash crops + Chinese medicinal materials". The planting area of ​​early-maturing emperor tangerines reaches more than 600 acres, with 3 high-quality varieties planted to enhance market competitiveness by taking advantage of the time to market. Polygonatum odorifera is planted to enrich industrial formats, reduce single industry risks, and promote land efficiency, villagers' income, and collective gains.

In terms of mineral resource development, Hanya Village has revitalized local high-quality resources, and the village collective has invested in relevant chemical companies, participated in the development and operation of the Yapolei mining project, and explored ways to invest in resources, distribute dividends, and increase income. The village's "two committees" took the initiative to do preliminary work such as geological survey, land acquisition coordination, public opinion communication and conflict resolution. At present, the preliminary preparations for the project have been completed, and the next step will be to enter the network bidding and implementation stage, which is expected to become a new growth point for the village's collective economy to continue to increase income.

According to reports, in the next step, Hanya Village will continue to promote the widening and strengthening of roads, the improvement of overall lighting and the optimization of the living environment, deepen the cultivation of specialty farming, promote the transformation to high-quality products, strengthen the integrated development model of photovoltaic and small and micro industries, steadily promote the implementation of mining projects, continue to expand resource development, industrial joint ventures, and diversified income-increasing paths to provide solid support for comprehensive rural revitalization and high-quality development.
